Riddarholmen Church


Behind us is the magnificent steeple of Riddarholmen Church. It was the final resting place of the Swedish kings and Stockholm's only preserved medieval monastery church. With the one exception of Queen Christina, all succeeding rulers of Sweden from Gustav II Adolf (d. 1632) to Gustaf V (d. 1950) are buried in the Riddarholmen Church.

Mälardrottningen


We finally stop on Riddarholmen, next to Mälardrottningen, another old ship which is now a hotel and restaurant.
